Chapter 88: Black-bellied Sheep
After some scrutiny.
Qiu Fei urged the flight charm to sail into the Yangxi Valley area, flying between the mountains and mountains.
He was looking for a safe place to live.
In such a hostile and unfamiliar environment, unpredictable events can happen at any time, and he needs to take precautions in advance.
Settlements must be safe and secure from sandstorms.
And the only option for such an ideal place to live is a cave.
After flying for a long distance in the Sheep Creek Valley with the Flying Charm, Qiu Fei finally found a natural cave in a canyon.
This is a natural cave, but the entrance of the cave is open on a cliff more than 30 feet above the ground.
It looks small, irregular, and has many rocky edges and corners protruding from the cave walls, which can be easily knocked over.
The ground inside the cave was a haphazard layer of coarse gravel and sand, which looked like it had been swept in by the storm.
Qiu Fei looked at it, the cave was a little smaller, and the depth was only more than a zhang long, and the width and height were less than five feet.
Living in it does feel a bit cramped and narrow, and if you turn around, you will touch the cave wall if you are not careful.
However, Qiu Fei didn't care.
It is enough to be able to shelter from the wind and rain, when do the workers care about the living environment?
Qiu Fei urged the flying charm to sail to the cave, and jumped in with the two little ones in his arms.
The cave was dry, there was no smell, and apparently, there were no flying monsters living here.
Qiu Fei was very satisfied, and he could live in it after simply cleaning up.
"Brother Hei" looked at this simple cave, and then looked at the straight cliff on the opposite side of the canyon, his eyes were full of endless disappointment, "Master, living in this kind of ghost place, it is very inconvenient for the baby to go out to play with the black girl." ”
The ghost-faced ape is the best at climbing, but the two little ones have not yet grown up, and they are still very afraid when they see such a high cliff.
"Still want to play?"
Qiu Fei warned the two little ones, "There are very powerful demonic beasts in the Sheep Creek Valley, you don't want to be treated as delicious food, so stay in the cave honestly."
The host will complete the task as soon as possible, take you home early, and then you can play to your heart's content. ”
With that, he ignored the two little ones and cleaned up the cave.
Qiu Fei only picked up the coarser gravel, and the sand was not swept away.
Qiu Fei spread them out in the cave, and then spread a blanket on them, whether they were lying, sitting, or walking, they felt very soft.
At this time, I only heard "Brother Hei" calling: "Master, look, what is that thing?" ”
Qiu Fei raised his head curiously and looked out of the cave.
I saw that on the cliff wall opposite the canyon, there was a stone cave the size of a fist, and at this moment, after hearing the movement here, a small furry head emerged from it.
It rolled its bony eyes and was looking curiously this way, and at the same time, the hair on its body stood up like pins, and it looked alert.
Judging by its appearance, it should be a wasteland badger, not even a monster.
After Qiu Fei explained to the two little guys, he ignored it and continued to clean the cave.
At this time, he heard the voice of "Little Black Girl" at the entrance of the cave, "Master, can you make this sheep into a roasted whole sheep?" ”
"Sheep?"
Qiu Fei was stunned for a moment, stopped what he was doing, and followed the gaze of the "little black girl" to look at the cliff opposite.
I saw that on the opposite cliff, there was really a three-foot-sized sheep, with a pair of crescent horns, looking at them curiously.
Isn't this the black-bellied sheep?
Qiu Fei's heart moved.
Before I started the hunting operation, the prey actually ran in front of me, this luck is not ordinary!
The black-bellied sheep is small in size and has long brown hair growing on its body, but the hair on its belly is very conspicuous.
It is pure black.
This is where the black-bellied sheep got its name.
I saw it stepping on the steep cliff wall on all fours, steadily, staring at a pair of curious eyes, looking at Qiu Fei and the two little ones in the cave opposite.
It's like enjoying a plate of food.
The distance was a bit far, and Qiu Fei couldn't make a move.
Seeing the prey, Qiu Fei didn't care about cleaning the cave, so he immediately took out the flying charm and prepared to hunt.
At this moment, the black-bellied sheep on the opposite side moved.
I saw it leap forward, and its thin body ran lightly on the steep cliff, and every time it landed, it stepped on the protrusion of the cliff accurately.
The black-bellied sheep has a vigorous body and agile movements, and after several vertical jumps, it reaches the top of the cliff with ease.
Before leaving, it even glanced back at Qiu Fei and them, casting a mocking look.
Then, it climbed over the hill and disappeared from view.
"Whoosh".
Autumn leaped up the flying charm and chased after it quickly.
When he flew to the top of the opposite cliff, where could he still find the black-bellied sheep?
However, this was difficult for Qiu Fei, and he immediately displayed his divine sense.
In a moment, the figure of the black-bellied sheep appeared in his sea of knowledge.
It turned out that the black-bellied sheep jumped into a narrow, narrow valley crevice, and then it left along this gully that had been washed and weathered by rain, wind and sand.
Such a ditch crack is very common among the peaks in the Yangxi Valley area, and Qiu Fei is not in a hurry to chase after him, but only uses his divine sense to probe the direction in which the black-bellied sheep have fled.
He hoped that the black-bellied sheep would lead him to find their herd, so that he would not have to blindly search for prey in this barren valley.
The groove goes all the way down the mountain.
Not long after, the gap in the ditch disappeared, and the black-bellied sheep jumped out of the crack and continued to jump on the hillside, running into the depths of the mountain.
Qiu Fei urged the flying talisman and flew high in the sky, following unhurriedly.
The black-bellied sheep is small and thin, and it is easy to lose its trace in the valleys crisscrossed by ravines.
Fortunately, Qiu Fei's divine sense is that he can probe a distance of ten miles, and he understands every move of this black-bellied sheep clearly.
In this way, Qiu Fei followed the black-bellied sheep to a rocky beach deep in the mountains.
The rocky beach is very wide and deep, and when the black-bellied sheep arrives here, they arch their heads to open some rocks from time to time, and stick out their tongues to lick them.
Qiu Fei was inexplicable, and he didn't know what the black-bellied sheep was doing.
When it was far away, he landed in the rocky beach and found a stone that had been licked by a black-bellied sheep.
I saw that there were some yellowish-white crystal particles left on it.
Sand salt!
Qiu Fei understood that the black-bellied sheep was looking for sand and salt.
The black-bellied sheep that had eaten the sand and salt quickened its pace at this moment, and went all the way down the rocky beach, and when it was almost at the end, it got into a pile of rocks and lost its trace.
At first, Qiu Fei didn't care.
But after waiting for a long time, I didn't see the black-bellied sheep come out of the rocks, and I realized that something was wrong.
He hurried to him.
This is a pile of rubble tens of zhang wide, and there are hundreds or thousands of rubble of uneven size.
They are stacked irregularly, with gaps between them.
These gaps range from large to small, large enough for people to get into, and small enough to fit a fist.
Qiu Fei tried to get into a slightly larger gap, and after a few steps inside, he had to retreat.
Because, the gap is over.
The road ahead has been blocked by another boulder, making it impassable.
Qiu Fei surrounded this pile of rocks, kept observing up and down, left and right, but didn't find anything wrong with it.
Even if he used his divine sense to investigate, he had no clue.
If he hadn't witnessed the black-bellied sheep burrow into this pile of rocks, he wouldn't have believed that this ordinary pile of rocks would be so weird.
Where did the black-bellied sheep go?
This is a question that Qiu Fei is puzzled with.
It was nearly noon, the sun was shining, and the temperature was unusually hot.
Thinking that he had delayed too much time here, it was not appropriate to leave the two little ones in the cave for too long.
So, Qiu Fei threw away the doubts in his heart and returned to the cave.
Seeing Qiu Fei come back, "Black Brother" and "Little Black Girl" threw themselves into his arms, sad and sad.
"Master, you know what? Just now, a demon eagle flew by from the top of the mountain, but fortunately, I was alert and pulled the black girl to hide in. ”
Lying on his shoulder, "Black Brother" kept asking Qiu Fei for credit.
The "Magic Eagle" is a unique magical beast in the wasteland, specializing in hunting carnivorous animals and magical beasts for a living, and is very ferocious.
Qiu Fei stroked the little head of the "little black girl" to show comfort.
He took out food and water, and ate a simple meal of one man and two beasts.
That afternoon, Qiu Fei continued to clean the cave, and he placed "Black Brother" and "Little Black Girl" in the cave and lived outside by himself.
Then he brought a large stone and placed it at the mouth of the cave, leaving only a slightly narrower gap for him and the two little ones to enter and exit.
This was done to prevent the danger posed by the Demonic Eagle, an aerial demonic beast, to the two little ones, and also to prevent other cultivators from discovering the existence of this cave at a glance.
Although the Sheep Creek Valley is desolate and inaccessible, it can't stand the high rewards of the sect's mission, and there will always be some cultivators who take risks and break in.
The fierce competition in the cultivation realm, Qiu Fei has a deep experience.
And the evil of human nature will be infinitely magnified in such an environment, and in order to seize the cultivation resources of other cultivators, there are many people who stab the knife in the back.
Qiu Fei had to be guarded against.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Qiu Fei set off with "Black Brother" and "Little Black Girl".
He walked straight to the rocky beach.
Qiu Fei immediately asked the two little guys, "Do you two see anything wrong with this pile of rocks?" ”
"It's just a pile of rocks."
"Black brother" said with a big grin.
"Little Black Girl" shook her nose, sniffed around, and replied, "Master, I smell a smell of monsters." ”
"Where?"
Autumn Fly is overjoyed.
He specially brought two little ones over today, just to use their sensitive sense of smell to find the traces of the black-bellied sheep.
It is said that geese have been left to be silent, and people have been photographed.
But whoever walks by, there will be traces.
Qiu Fei would never believe that a living demonic beast would disappear out of thin air for no reason.
It's weird in itself.
"Little Black Girl" walked towards the pile of rubble.
In order to prevent accidents, Qiu Fei grabbed the rope holding the "little black girl".
Coming to a gap that was not very wide, the "little black girl" stood still, put her head in front of the gap, and sniffed softly.
The black-bellied sheep got into this crevice yesterday?
No way!
This gap is less than a zhang long and about two feet high.
Qiu Fei had probed with his divine sense yesterday, and at that time, there was no black-bellied sheep in it.
Just as Qiu Fei was thinking nonsense, the "little black girl" had already raised her head, "Master, the smell has disappeared from here." ”
